F1 2024 - Round 12 - British - Silverstone

Crazy that Hamilton hasn't won a race since jeddah 2021

Overall an average race. Could have Been do much better. Needed more rain.

And Lewis is soaking it all in. And who could deny him that moment. He won Driver of the day after he won at Silverstone as well.

That was a cracking race, enjoyed it. Credit to Hamilton, right tyres at the right time, drove well and did exactly what he needed to.

McLaren absolutely shot themselves in the foot though, missed opportunity for them. Should have double stacked Piastri at the first stop and too much debate on the radio for the last one with Norris. Just needed someone to be decisive and make a decision

Great race for the two Astons,Hulk,Tsunoda and Albon. Piastri should be livid with Mclaren, he was completely shafted. Horrendous for Leclerc and Checo, Checo really needs to get a handle on things if it isn't too late already

max homing in on title number 4 .
He looks delighted with todays result .

With a bit more luck over the weekend , he could have bagged the win .

Really enjoyable race and fully deserved for Hamilton in ever changing conditions, managed his tires very well in the last stint too.

Max delighted with his result, probably didn’t envisage getting that at the start of the day!

McLarens strategy was a disaster today though, all big calls wrong. Left Piastri out a lap too late for the first stop and Lando out a lap too late for the second, was really surprised they didn’t go on the medium either.

And another 6th place for Hulkenberg!

Great win for Hamilton. I wonder if he has any regrets leaving the team, now that they look to have finally closed the gap to Red Bull?

How are Lewis chances of winning more races as we are now through half way through the season?

I would say that they will look more favourable for the 12 races. He could be a contender for getting more race wins this year while he is going up against Max & Lando.

Although if Mercedes suffer the inevitably of going through a winners curse after winning at Silverstone; it will hurt the team more if they don't place a lot more focus into making their cars more winnable again.

They have the ability to do it. They have the experience to do it.

With 2 wins on their books this year; will Mercedes make their winning streak stick to their team once again after that huge win is Silverstone is now done and dusted? Could they go for win No.3 in Hungary?

After Ferrari's win with Charles at Monaco. They have lost their focus a bit in sticking to getting a winning performance in their cars again. Their drivers are seeing performances defects in their cars which has not been favourable to their season.

McClaren have been vying to get more wins on their watch after Lando won in Miami. However it has been tricky for them to get them onto a solid footing while they edging up against Red Bull in Imola and in Austria last weekend. McClaren have been getting podiums after Miami has come and gone. But the chances of getting that win on the top step on the podium is still near but yet so far.

Lando was saying on Sky Sports & Channel 4 that he is getting fed up with not getting more wins under his belt. The disappointment in his face says it all. Lando wants to win more races throughout the season. But it appears that he is getting more impatient now as he has the car to potentially win more races.

All I can say is that it has been a mad, mad season so far. It has been so open and so varied for all of the fans who have watched all of the unfolding drama in the sport this year. It has given us a greater level of excitement to see more of that drama potentially unfold to further decrease the chances of another Red Bull clean sweep being won under their belts. I hope that it will get better for us all over again as we head towards the Autumn and Winter.

It has a been a blast so far & I love it.

Nut job politicians thrown out, their soccer team hanging in, top 3 lock out on the grid, British winner. Fair to say it's been a good weekend for England.

Liam lawson running in last years Red Bull next week apparently. Checo won't be there at Spa

Today is irrelevant really. They took a punt and it backfired but I think it's Already a done deal i reckon

I’m guessing Lando. They were asking him as late as when he was coming in what tyre he wanted! It was clear to me he was unsure what to do and that’s the point the team should have made a call on it, and they’d been speaking about Mediums only a few laps before and I’d be inclined to think that’s what they’d have called! And likely won the race IMO.

I am no Hamilton fan but fair play to him on that one.

Mad race, Norris will be kicking himself for not going the mediums at the end.

And now, we get to hear about this race win for an eternity…yay.
